uploading one 1099 NEC to Michigan, no presence in that state

Thank you for reaching out regarding filing 1099-NEC forms for individuals in states where your company does not have a physical presence, Bonzoo. It is commendable that you’re taking steps to ensure compliance, and I’m here to guide you through this essential process.

Michigan and Rhode Island do not participate in the Combined Federal/State Filing Program. Therefore, the process for filing 1099-NEC forms in these states is somewhat different and may not utilize common facilities, such as a Guest Services Portal designed for broader multi-state filing purposes.

I recommend visiting the official websites of the state taxing authorities or reaching out to them directly to find the exact filing procedures for your 1099 forms without registering your business in the state, as the options may vary.

It may also be beneficial to consult with a tax professional familiar with multi-state tax filings to help navigate this process smoothly and ensure compliance with each state's regulations.

Additionally, you might find the following resources helpful, as they offer tailored insights and guidance for tax filing:

• Instructions for Forms 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC
• Year-end checklist for QuickBooks Online Payroll

I hope this information helps you move forward with your 1099 filings smoothly! Remember, we’re here whenever you need more support. Let’s get this done together.
